In May 2023, I had my first comprehensive visit to the Pacific Northwest (Washington and Oregon). Upon falling in love with the landscape and volcanic Cascade mountains, I purchased 20 acres in Washington state adjacent to friends homesteading next door. Over the next year, I'll be building, moving, and changing many aspects of my life. I'm hoping I made the right decision. This podcast reflects on why I chose what I did and how I see the future partnering with this land.
